Actor and funnyman Steve Coogan took the Golden Globes stage with Philomena Lee, the woman behind his new movie Philomena, to introduce the film as a Best Motion Picture (Drama) contender. The Irishwoman said, "The film isn't just about me; it's the shared story of the women who have yet to receive the justice they deserve." Coogan's film chronicles Lee's battle to locate the son she was forced to give up for adoption. Another non-Hollywood celebrity to take to the stage at the Globes was race ace Niki Lauda, who presented Rush, a movie about his track contest with the late James Hunt, as a Best Film contender with Chris Hemsworth.
